you should mention sea state as well as many on CF will compare your results to their flat water ideal conditions performance.

Nice review, although we are not live aboards, we enjoy our L-39 when we are aboard.

We have a 1200 sq ft symmetrical spinnaker, love it! With your Code 0 gear you likely will not need anything except the sail and sock.

Sea State was about a 2-3 foot wind chop.
